What age categories are offered at Ben Davis Soccer Club?
BDSC accepts children from 4 years old through High School. Please review the age
eligibility chart as provided by the Indiana Youth Sports
Association.
Ben Davis Soccer Club breaks up the U6 Category into U4/5 and U6. IYSA will not insure a
child less than 4 years old, so regrettably we are unable to register a child that will be
younger than 4 years old at the start of the Soccer season.
Soccer age years run from August 1st through July.

Travel Soccer is a soccer division composed of teams that require some sort of try-outs for selection
and approximately half of the games are played at locations other than our own fields. The Travel
